What do you want?

If you continue doing what you are doing today, what will your life look like in 5 years?

Ultimately, it gets down to defining what is most important to you. Money is a resource, it is what you do with it that counts. Time is a gift, it is what you do with it that counts. 

Can you answer the question "Why?" Write it down. Test it. Will it keep you going when everything else tells you to quit. If you have a WHY, the HOW will take care of itself. 

Allow me to ask you the following questions to help you define your motivation or WHY for desiring to start a home-based business:

• What is most important to you about making money from home?
• How much would make a difference in your household? Why?
• Are there any things with which "you have had it"?
• Are there things you "have to have"?
• What does your family mean to you?
• What do you want for your own personal growth?
• What you want to accomplish in your lifetime?
• What would you like to be remembered for?
• What moves you?
• What would you love to do if money were no issue?

The answer to these questions will help direct the choice of opportunity for you.

"A question Vanessa asked me kept coming back to my mind: "If nothing were to change in our lives, what would our lives be like in five years?" In the past, when confronted with an opportunity, I would often ask myself, "What if this fails?" and this question would stop me from pursuing new opportunities. I decided that maybe I should start asking, "What if this works?" Vanessa, thank you so much for believing in me!"
